The Big and Little Water Trails at the top of the Mill Creek Canyon road is a popular place for enjoying wildflowers. The trails lead to Dog lake, and hook up with the Desolation Trail.
I usually take these trails on flower hunting expeditions, in which case I am looking down at the ground and not up at the scenery.
